Apple Tests Solid-State Buttons for iPhone 20 Pro as 2027 Anniversary Redesign Takes Shape
4 articles · Updated · VietNamNet · May 13
Apple is reportedly testing solid-state buttons for the 2027 iPhone 20 Pro across gloves, wet hands, extreme temperatures and phone cases, reviving a feature it shelved before the iPhone 15 Pro.
The button system would replace moving parts with pressure sensors and haptic feedback, backed by an ultra-low-power chip that could register some inputs even when the phone is powered off.
That shift could help Apple build a cleaner all-glass design with fewer openings, improving water resistance and reducing mechanical wear as it targets a more seamless anniversary model.
Leaks also point to under-display Face ID, a hidden selfie camera and speaker, dual-layer OLED, and a battery nearing 6,000mAh for what could be Apple’s biggest iPhone redesign since the iPhone X.
Most details remain unverified and come from leakers with mixed records, but the testing suggests Apple is still pushing technologies long tied to a 20th-anniversary flagship.
